ACTIVE Cannot locate scenery.cfg

[DrJones]

Just installed FTX Global BASE and FTX Trees HD, tried to apply group and it says it can't locate the scenery.cfg It's in plain sight in my fsx folder in it's usual spot, why can't it find it? should I have a copy of it elsewhere?

Hi DrJones,

 

The active Scenery.cfg is actually located in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX (you will have to run FSX at least once after installing for it to generate a Scenery.cfg)

 

Just to confirm, which simulator is this: FSX or FSX-SE?

 

And have you run the latest Orbxlibs since installing Global+trees? if not you can obtain the latest version here: https://www.fullterrain.com/support#orbxlibs

 

Cheers!

It's FSX: SE so I actually have it installed in my steam files (steamapps-common-fsx)

Everything seems to run ok, I get the textures, but I always am a little concerned when I get windows I shouldn't get.

And yes I did run the latest orbxlibs, however I didn't run FSX before running orbxlibs, is that a problem? Because at the end of the orbxlibs install, it gave me the same message (couldn't locate scenery.cfg)

 

EDIT: And yes, sorry, I do have a scenery.cfg and scenery.cfg_orbx_backup in my program data
